Leather...

Fall merchandise will be arriving in stores in the coming weeks.  While we are all sweating from even the thought of going outside, highly air conditioned department stores and boutiques will be filling their space with leather, fur, and cashmere.  One of the most prominent trends from the Fall runways is leather, in particular, black leather.  While, not a new phenomenon, black leather jackets have certainly stood the test of time (Steve MccQueen, Debbie Harry, Cat-woman), this season the trend evolves beyond the jacket, to include skirts, dresses, tops and tees.  Gone are the days of this expensive animal skin being synonymous with Harley-Davidsons and Goth.  Today, leather is molded into feminine silhouettes - pencil skirts, coats nipped in at the waist, touched blouses, this list continues.
